We salute, celebrate and remember the 1998 Prairie View A&M University football team on the 20th anniversary of ending an 80-game losing streak.
The Panthers defeated Langston 14-12 on this day in 1998 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as the defense authored one of the most important moments in University history.
After allowing a Langston touchdown in the final minute of the game, Prairie View A&M stopped the game-tying two-point conversion, and then recovered the onside kick, to win for the first time since Oct. 28, 1989.
Since that win, no PVAMU football team has had a winless season.
Since 2007, Prairie View A&M has had seven winning seasons, including three in a row, won the 2009 SWAC Championship (the first since 1964), and has won 74 games – the second-highest win total of any team in the SWAC.
We salute, celebrate, and remember the 1998 Prairie View A&M University football team, whose victory that night changed a team, a program and a University forever.
